Old Town Road to EGOT

Well that episode was fairly boring, but at least the preview for next week's episode looked fun.

According to FOX's schedule, they're playing the new 24 next Friday, so we might have to wait two weeks.

Oh poo poo, yeah, Wiki says the next episode is on the 16th :( The new 24 premieres on Monday so I guess that's a rerun next Friday?

Will from season 9 in that piece is the only guy I can't recall being chewed out by Ramsay on the show. He says he did, but I think it ended up on the cutting room floor.

Lol. Replacing oil with water, salt with sugar, loving with temperatures. Everything we suspected is true!

Hmm, I wonder about some of that. Not that I think it's impossible they mess with the chefs, I'm sure they do, but like, Ji was only there for two episodes before she got hurt. And she mentions the sugar/salt incident with Colleen, who wasn't really the sharpest knife in the kitchen, so I could buy either scenario.

Sounds more like giving the chefs things they need to look out for rather than actively screwing up their cooking, such as turning a burner off remotely in the middle of a dish.

Requiescat in pace.
Reading about being able to gently caress with stations remotely makes me wonder why they decide to do it surreptitiously. A bunch of chefs forced to pump out quality food in a kitchen that can break down at the press of a button while Gordon Ramsay calls everyone an idiot sounds like a great loving show.

Yeah, plus the fact the chefs they interviewed admitted that you need no real chef skill to get on the show. So naturally most of them either aren't up to the task without or completely inept from the get-go, without all the producer screwiness.

But like I said, it sounds more like they try to set them up for failure rather ensuring they fail no matter what. As long as you check all the stuff you're supposed to check, a somewhat competent chef should be ok.

And it's not like anybody ever made the finals who didn't deserve to be there in some capacity.

Yeah there's always 1 or 2 competent ones that get absolutely no screen time that make it to the top 3 because they rarely gently caress up.

Watching Fayza was pretty much watching my mother-in-law on TV.

So after wondering last week I timed how long it took to watch This weeks's episode and it was about an hour and 10 minutes.

Are one of the casting locations based directly in New Jersey? Because every year there seems to be multiple chefs from the state, both competent (all of these guys) and incompetent (too many to count)

Also, yay more Dana :allears: One of my favorites across all seasons, up there with Dave, Rock and Heather. Apparently she's self-aware of the yelling, so that helps.

Just wanted to pop in before tonight's episode to say that the beef wellington I made came out great over the weekend. It certainly wouldn't have passed Ramsay's approval in the presentation department, but the temperature was a loving spot-on medium rare. It was delicious, and everyone was blown away when I took it out of the oven. (I had kept what I was making a secret.

I look forward to doing it again someday, and hopefully with help next time.

You'd certainly make black jackets on this season with that wellington. Glad it turned out well for you!

Reminder that they're replaying 24 tonight, so no new episode of Kitchen Nightmares.

Next Friday the one-hour season finale will air at 9 Eastern. Place doesn't sound too good doing research on it.

And a repeat of Return to Amy's Baking Company will air on that next Saturday at 8.

Yes, because the slice is then going to be on its side on a plate, and the eater will be cutting off pieces against the grain.
